Danny was born in Mt. Clemens, Michigan to Billy and Roberta Donaghue Cargill. He was the oldest of two children, with a younger sister Colleen Sutherland. Danny went to Trenton High. He immediately went from there to Toledo Blade where he learned to become a Meat Cutting Tradesman. He then purchased a used corner shop and his mother then assisted him in cleaning it up, where he cut meat and ran the shop for a few years. Somewhere during this period, he met Connie Mills at a Graceland youth retreat. They married at an RLDS Church that Connie attended in Des Moines, Ia. They then traded his store for a home in Roseville, Mi. He then went to Farmer Jack where he worked until their relocation to Missouri. Dan and Connie during this time also raised three kids, Matt, Tim and Katie in South Rockwood. He also purchased two draft horses (Mike & Molly) who turned out to be one of his great passions. Dan, Connie, Katie and the drafts gathered to Missouri in 1986.
He moved to Missouri as an Elder and later became pastor at both Atherton & Missionary Branches. The church was of utmost importance to Dan and he remained faithful throughout his life. He adored his animals and enjoyed them continually. Another favorite trade of Dan's was making popcorn; which he made for many diners and made him very famous with the grandkids! His granddaughter Lauren called him Master of the Popcorn!
The family of Dan wish to extend their sincere thanks to all who so willingly assisted in their many needs. As well as family and friends who have loved so very well!
